Yeah I should give her a call”
”To tell my baby sister
Yeah I know there's more important things
Then she took my hand and said
Keep tellin' me I'm on my own
I called Mama up last night
But don't forget to remember me
But don't forget to remember me”
And just like every Sunday
You better stop for gas
”And make sure you tell daddy
In case you run short on cash”
And those bills there on the counter
”Before you hit the highway
This downtown apartment
”Baby don't forget”
In this big old place
Momma kept on talkin', puttin' off goodbye
Tonight I find myself kneelin' by the bed to pray
I'll see her in the fall
Both tryin' not to cry
And there's a fifty in the ashtray
I haven't done this in a while
I tell her everything's all right
We were loadin' up that Chevy
But Lord I feel so small sometimes
“Hey Mama don't forget”
Don't forget to remember me”
That I'm still his little girl
”Here's a map and here's a Bible
If you ever lose your way
Just one more thing before you leave
But for me they drug on and on
So I don't know what to say
Yeah I still feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be
Before we hung up I said
And even when it's not
And tell Mee-Mal that I miss her
Sure makes me miss home
